An explanation of a few articles in this number 
will be of interest. The stories entitled "A Lynette" 
and "Dorothy Fenmore" were written by members of 
the academy English class for regular class work. The 
instructions were to write a story with a character in 
it which had the same characteristics as "Lynette" in 
Tennyson's "Idyl's of the King" The story "Dormi- 
tory Christmas" under a different title was rescued 
from the waste paper basket and "doctored" by the 
editor.

THE CRESCENT 



In the first number we commented upon the whole- 
some enthusiasm which was manifested in the Student 
Body. Students are usually enthusiastic at the begin- 
ning of a school year but their zeal sometimes wanes as 
the weeks pass. We are glad to note that such is not 
the case this term. The debate try-out was held on 
about as disagreeable an evening as could well be 
chosen, but in spite of this many of the students were 
out and a few outsiders, notwithstanding the fact no 
public announcement was made. This is encouraging. 
In athletics competition is keener than last year. There 
are more candidates for places on the basket ball team 
than for several years and all are working hard. While 
the spirit is "up" keep it up. Now is the time to work, 
if we would make this the best year P. C. has ever 
known. We have a good debating team. Boost it. 
We have a good basket ball team. Boost it. Boost 
yourself in the coming oratorical preliminaries and in- 
sure another P. C. oratorical victory. Our slogan, 
"CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR P. C. IN 1910." 

Did you notice the student fellowship at the Soph- 
omore-Town game? Preps, Freshmen, Juniors and 
Seniors yelling the "Soph's" yells with a senior leader. 

Some recent editorials in our exchanges have com- 
mented upon the relation of the college and town, but 
it has been from the financial point of view and also 
from the student point of view only. They criticise the 
town and especially the business men for not patron- 
izing student activities when their business depends to 
a large extent upon student patronage. These com- 
ments were the result of special and local conditions 
and no doubt were in place and would not be in place in

every college town. There are relationships, however, 
which should exist in every town and do exist, to a 
greater or less degree. To one of these we would like 
to call attention. The general intellectual tone of a col- 
lege community is affected by that college. Unwittingly 
the public school students and youth in high school or 
out of school pattern their intellectual ideals after the 
practices of students in higher institutions. The col- 
lege can bring to its town, if it will, high grade lyceum, 
courses which afford instructive entertainments. Too 
often the thought is prevalent that entertainment is 
separate from every thing else. We want entertain- 
ment so we go to the cheap amusements where the 
baser part of our nature is gratified and think we have 
been profited. It is the privilege of a college to culti- 
vate the nobler tendencies in a community so that the 
best in lectures, the best in musicals, the best in art 
will be the only entertainment wanted. Work for the 
best interests of the town and see if it will not stand by 
you.

THE CRESCENT 



Bototftp Jfenmore. 



Dorothy Fenmore was the daughter of wealthy 
parents. She was tall, with raven black hair and dark, 
penetrating eyes. All her life she had been humored 
in every whim by her father, and now at the age of 
twenty, just launched into society, she felt that a bril- 
liant social career awaited her. Through the winter 
months she laughed and danced the hours away until 
all unexpectedly her father died. 

After Mr. Fenmore's death it was found that the 
greater part of the money which the Fenmore's had 
been using was not rightfully theirs. Mr. Fenmore's 
estate was declared bankrupt and the greater part of 
his property went to pay his debts. Mrs. Fenmore sold 
their beautiful home and with Dorothy moved into a 
little cottage in a quiet part of the city. 

Dorothy was very much dissatisfied. She sat at 
home and thought of what she might have been doing 
if only fortune had been a little more kind. 

Soon it became necessary that they have an income, 
so Dorothy decided to enter the business world. The 
business world meant to her what it seems to to so 
many, simply to be well dressed, to board a car in the 
morning and go down to the busy city; then during the 
day to be an ornament to some office and in the even- 
ing to return home with the air of one who has actually 
done things, but who in reality has done nothing. Dor- 
othy's society life had surely not fitted her for the 
grind of office work. She, who had always been petted 
and admired, could not understand how anyone dared 
to object to her wishes. When she applied for a posi- 
tion she objected to the long hours, the small pay she 
would receive at first, and even to the work she would 



THE CRESCENT 



5 



be expected to do. Everywhere she went she was 
quietly told that they could give her nothing at present 
and in the evening it was a disappointed Dorothy who 
returned home thinking that the world held no oppor- 
tunities for anyone. 

Necessity forced Dorothy to try again and soon she 
secured a position as a clerk at the ribbon counter of a 
large department store. It seems almost impossible 
that the wheel of fortune should turn so quickly and 
that the society "bud" of the season before should 
now be simply clerk number 150. 

Dorothy reported for work a little bit late the first 
morning but nothing was said about it. She was shown 
where to put her wraps and given a cloth and told to 
dust and arrange her counter before the usual Monday 
morning rush. Dorothy looked at the cloth and then 
at her dainty hands covered with rings and said that 
she thought she was hired to sell ribbons and not to do 
the work of a scrub woman. The department manager 
looked at her for a few minutes but said nothing. 
When he had gone a friendly little cash girl informed 
her that she would always have to do that and also that 
it was a little bit dangerous to make the boss mad. 
But Dorothy's pride had been wounded and she did 
not mean to pass over it lightly and to this little bit of 
advice she replied that she "intended to make that man 
pay for his impudence" and she immediately set about 
it 

Soon the morning trade began to come in and Dor. 
othy's woes began in earnest. First came a woman 
with a little child. She wanted a sash for the little 
girl and after looking over many of the more expensive 
ribbons she decided upon a faded piece of lavender rib- 
bon from the remnant box standing upon the counter

THE CRESCENT 



and then desired Dorothy to tie the sash upon the child. 
Dorothy tried but the child wiggled and twisted and in- 
sisted on turning around to see the rings upon Doro- 
thy's hands while from the counter came the warning 
call "busy, 150? busy? soon be through?" Dorothy 
angrily turned to the counter. She wondered if they 
did not have sense enough to see that she was busy. 

Her next customers were two High School girls. 
They had come to buy their class colors and when Dor- 
othy could not find the exact shade for them they were 
sure that they had Been it the day before and wouldn't 
she please ask some one and see if they did not have it 
yet in stock. Dorothy asked and was told that she 
would find it in the basement and also that she could 
get it and that it need not take her long. This she re- 
fused to do and the two girls angrily left the store. 
And the little red book which the department manager 
always carried in his pocket bore another item. 

So the hours wore on. The people surged by and 
no one thought of or noticed Dorothy. Some of her 
former friends passed through the store and she stepped 
back into the shadow so that they might not see her. 
It seemed to Dorothy that the day would never end. 
The large clock hung above the door opposite her and 
anxiously she watched it as it slowly ticked out the 
minutes. The hum of the baskets flying back and 
forth and the constant call of "cash girl" played an un- 
pleasant accompaniment to her thoughts. 

At last the hour of closing came and before the 
clock had ceased striking Dorothy was homeward bound. 

Almost the same as the first, the remaining days 
of the week passed and on Saturday night as she was 
leaving the store an envelope was placed in her hands 
and upon opening it she found her week's wages and a

little note which said "We are Borry but we find that 
our business does not warrant the keeping of so many 
clerks so you need not return Monday morning." 

A few days later as she passed by the Btore Doro- 
thy decided that the business of the firm must have in- 
creased for she observed that a new girl had been giv- 
en her place. Little did she think that she had lost it 
through her own carelessness.

"If that awkward, ill-dressed fellow goes out on 
our sleigh ride tomorrow night and pretends to skate 
with the crowd I shall not go," said Dorothy D. as she 
perched herself on a desk in the High School assembly 
room. ''Why Dorothy, he isn't at all bad when you 
know him. his manners are really quite good," said 
Dorothy's friend Rose- The first speaker was a bright, 
lively girl, the leader of her set in the Junior class in 
the High School. She was the only child of wealthy 
parents and had been thoroughly spoiled. The boy they 
spoke of was Jack Atherton who had recently entered 
school. He came from the country and was working 
for Dr. Graham to pay his way through school. He 
had done much studying at home so was able to enter 
the Junior class. 

This class had planned a sleigh ride to Crater's 
pond about five miles from town and the Doctor had 
told Jack he could be spared so he was planning to go. 
He had made the acquaintance of most of the boys, 
except a few of Dorothy's friends who refused to have 
anything to do with the "low-down fellow," also of a 
few of the girls among whom was Dorothy's chum.

Rose. He knew of Dorothy's dislike and had heard 
her name for him, "Stable Boy" more than once but 
he went bravely on in spite of all taunts. 

When the time came for the sleigh ride Dorothy 
came because she said she could not afford to miss all 
the fun even if the "Stable Boy" did go along. They 
had hired a large sleigii and a driver for the team. On 
the trip to the pond all went well and most of them had 
a merry time, Jack did not enjoy it very well for 
Dorothy kept up a continual laugh at his expense. Part 
of the time he gave them good natured replies and 
joined in their laughter. 

After they had skated an hour or two Dorothy 
tripped on a loose branch on the ice and sprained her 
ankle. Of course this put an end to their skating and 
they prepared to start home. Jack offered to assist 
Dorothy to the sleigh but she had said sharply "No, 
don't you touch me. I could not bear it" so he had 
gone on ahead and carefully arranged a warm place for 
her to sit 

They had gone about two-thirds of the way home 
when suddenly they heard sleigh bells crashing ahead 
of them as if a team might be running away. They 
were just rounding a curve on the side of a hill where 
the road was so narrow two teams could not pass. The 
girls screamed and the boys sat as still as if frozen, all 
except Jack who had presence of mind enoegh to jump 
out and dash frantically ahead of their sleigh which 
the driver quickly stopped. The crowd could hear the 
team coming nearer and nearer and were sure now they 
were running away. Jack saw instantly that it was 
some farmer's team with a heavy sled probably return- 
ing from town and if they were not stopped it would 
mean destruction to his companions, so getting as close 



THE CRESCENT

to the upper side of the road as possible he prepared to 
stop them. 

On they came and just as they were even he made 
a desperate leap and caught the nearest horse's bridle. 
They had been badly frightened but had run until they 
were somewhat winded so the horse Jack clung to soon 
stopped, pulling the other back with him- They came 
to a standstill just in front of the sleigh. All the boys 
and a part of the girls crowded around Jack thanking 
and praising him for what he had done for them while 
Dorothy lay with her head in Rose's lap and cried for 
joy, her foot almost forgotten. 

A farmer soon came up to take his team which had 
thrown him into a snow bank when they started to run. 
The crowd climbed into the sleigh and started on all 
talking and exclaiming at what Jack had done. Doro- 
thy hadn't very much to say but as they stopped be- 
fore her home and they helped her stand on her one 
sound foot she held out her hand to Jack and said sim- 
ply "I am sorry I have misjudged you so and have said 
so many msan things. I shall consider it an honor if 
you will forgive me and help me to the house where I 
know my parents will be glad to know and thank you." 
And Dorothy never again judged anyone by their ex- 
ternal appearances.

Jack Clark walked across the campus with disap- 
pointment written on his countenance and in his ac- 
tions. For two months he had been planning to spend 
his Christmas at home but at the last moment he was 
disappointed. He was now on his way to the room of 



10 



THE CRESCENT 



his friend, Don Barber, who had to spend his vacation 
at the "Dorm." He found Don as blue as himself, but 
a half hour's talk ended in a decision to "stir things 
up." 

"Jack," said Don, "let's have a spread and invite 
the rest of the bunch." 

"Sure thing," said Jack, and they forgot their dis- 
appointment in planning the spread. 

''Say Jack, it will be awfully dull without girls, 
why not have half of the boys dress as girls?" 

The idea was readily assented to by Don and they 
went to inform five boys and five "girls" of their plan. 
The only difficulty was in deciding who would be girls 
as they all wanted that distinction. 

Mrs. Howard, the dormitory matron, had given her 
consent to the plan and at six o'clock Christmas morn- 
ing the boys went to the kitchen to make ready the 
feast for the evening. They insisted on doing the work 
themselves and Mrs. Howard let them alone. The prin- 
cipal dish was to be turkey, of course, and in spite of 
their efforts it did not look right. "Why it's the dress- 
ing," Don exclaimed, so Jack stuffed a mixture of 
bread crumbs, salt and dry sage into the fowl, and they 
felt satisfied that all would be well. 

The dining room was prepared while the oven did 
its part. Arthur's bed room was soon converted into a 
banquet hall. The furniture was stacked in the hall 
and a long table placed in the middle of the room with 
chairs of all descriptions placed around it. Chester 
came in with some mistletoe saying as he put it above 
the door, "Ladies always expect it." The dishes were 
few and three boys were allowed to eat off one platter, 
but nevertheless the whole bunch felt proud of their 
work. 



THE CRESCENT

"Isn't it about time to look at the turkey?" one 
suggested, and the innocent bird was subjected to 
pokes, prods and tastings. Fred said the dressing 
needed more soda, Jack said vinegar and Don voted 
sugar. They could not agree so a little of each was put 
in. 

Twenty minutes before six they were waiting for 
the company. Dinner wasn't ready yet and the prob- 
lem which suddenly confronted them was where they 
would seat their guests until dinner, for all the chairs 
were around the table. "They'll simply have to stand 
up and wait awhile," snapped Davis whose temper was 
not of the best because the cranberries would not jell. 

The bell rang. Jack descended with great dignity 
to open the door, where five blushing maidens and five 
gallant escorts were waiting to be admitted. Jack sup- 
pressed his amusement and welcomed his guests very 
gracefully. Fred and Davis received at the head of the 
stairs and helped the ladies remove their wraps. It 
was certainly a dress affair. Willis, who came with 
Rogers, wore a sweet white dress and his front locks 
were tied up with brilliant pink ribbon and his waist 
line was designated by a ribbon of the same variety. 
His hat was large, of course, and he carried a bunch of 
red paper carnations. Dick Jamieson was still more 
striking in a pale green ball gown trimmed in yellow 
lace. Around his slender neck gleamed priceless dia- 
monds. Frederick evidently believed in simplicity of 
dress for he wore a simple clinging gown of black cot- 
ton, with a train. His hair, however, was a mass of 
puffs and curls. Hammond was shy and had to be 
coaxed by the whole company before he would speak, 
but he really looked sweet in his short, red, accordion- 
plaited dress and curled hair. He came with Ford 



12 



THE CRESCENT 



whom he called uncle. Everyone voted McKelvey the 
star, His hair was dressed in Colonial style and his 
dress was a creamy silk with a pointed waist He had 
a pink complection and was rather easily exctted. 

The turkey was at last placed upon the table. It 
looked fat and had a peculiar odor, but nevertheless the 
cook announced dinner. The ladies with their escorts 
walked gaily into the dining room. The escorts stopped 
under the mistletoe and a little giggle expressed the 
sentiments of the ladies. Hammond's dress though 
not long was rather hard to sit on as he had wired it 
out, but after a few crashing* sounds he was comfort- 
ably seated and the banqueting began. 

They were either vegetarians or not very hungry 
for they ate sparingly of the turkey. They did eat 
heartily, however, of the pudding and cake although 
the latter had been cut early in the morning. After 
the dinner came the toasts. The first response was by 
one of the ladies and in the midst of her speech she 
was interrupted by a servant entering the room and 
leaving a box. After some confusion Jack opened the 
box, for it was directed to him, and read a note which 
he found on top. 

DBAS Jack: I am sorry that you could not be 
home for Christmas, but I am sending you some turkey, 
pie and cake. You may invite some of your friends 
and have a good time. I am as ever, 

Mother. 



All ia quiet on the prairie, 

Night enshrouds the sleeping earth, 
All is still within the cabins, 

Coals are black upon the hearth. 



THE CRESCENT 



Through the dark the wind is raising 
Clocks have struck the midnight hour; 

And across the western prairie 
Coming is an unseen power. 

Yonder sky is streaked with redness; 

Growing redder, creeping higher 
'Till a young voice breaks the stillness 

Of the morning with the one word "Fire!" 

"Fire!" breaks the toilers* slumbers 
"Fire!" rings from mouth to mouth. 

Look, the fire is fast approaching 
From the West and from the South. 

Nearer now and ever nearer 
Sweeps the roaring, plunging flame; 

SweepB the angry, red-eyed monster 
That no human hand can tame. 

Farmers now with frantic horses 

Wider plow the wide fire-guard, 
And the cattle struck with terror 

Bellow, stamp and paw the yard. 

Men and youthB with fire fighters 
Rush to meet the flames bo wild 

Leaving in the Fathers keeping 
Sweetheart, sister, wife and child. 

Onward sweeps the deadly monster 
Breathing forth its fiery breath; 

Leaving in its path but ruin, 
Stretching forth its arms of death. 

Men with fire brands bravely battle 

With the Bide fires, till at last 
Glancing upward see the head fire 

Turned, and bearing down upon them fast. 

Springs each man into his saddle 
To Iris horse gives rein and spur, 

Urging on the frightened creature; 
And praying in his heart for her. 

The children watch the flaming billows, 
With faces white against the pane, 

Mothers pray that God will save them, 
Working on with might and main. 

Death seems Hearing, life departing 

To the farmers weary grown, 
As the fire still bears upon them 

And invelops love and home.

Still they labor, self forgotten, 

For those dearer far than life ; 
And with faces scorched and blistered 

Fight with death for child and wife. 

Barns and granaries fall in ashes 

Every moment seems the last, 
For the angry flames leap higher 

Flashing forth their homes to grasp. 

What! Oh God, the men are failing! 

See, their strength is almost spent! 
But look again 1 the wind is changing, 

And the flames are backward sent. 

Backward o'er the blackened prairie 
God himself sent wind and flame; 

O'er that pathway stripped of beauty. 
Which bo lately bore his name. 

There was earnest, true thanksgiving 

To a God who lives and keeps, 
In the cabins of these farmers, 
jPJLFor an eye that never sleeps.

The Sophomores have the strongest class team hav- 
ing won over every thing in college. They next chal- 
lenged a town team, the game being played December 
3. It was a very close and hotly contested game. The 
first half was a little slow and ended 9-5 in the Sopho- 
more's favor, who were continually in the lead except 
twice when their opponents tied the score. The second 
half was snappy throughout and ended with the Sopho- 
mores still in the lead by one point, the score being 16- 
15- The line-up was as follows:
